@Suffolk Punch Have you tried running ADE and K4PC under Wine, I don't know for certain if that would work - but some bright spark around here is bound to know. If it's doable you could then use Linux calibre. Then the W7 VM would only be needed for the Active X app.

That put me on the right track!
in case it helps others here's what worked for me:
- upgrade to Linux Crossover 19.0.1 and launch it
- create a Windows 7 bottle
- in the bottle, install additional dependencies added through Advanced Options of: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and Core Fonts
- finally, install Adobe Digital Editions v 2.0.1 (which I happened to have)
Then all worked well, including registering with my Adobe ID and downloading protected books from ascm files.
So I now just need a win7 VM to run activex in IE.
Thanks to all, once again - yes even the Big Bad Wolf.
